Use data from Appendix IIB in the textbook to calculate the equilibrium constants at 25?C for each of the following reactions.
2NO(g)+O2(g)?2NO2(g) .
Express your answer using two significant figures.
2NO(g)+O2(g) 2NO2(g) ;=?
= products - reactants
= (2xNO2(g) ) - [ (2xNO(g)) +(O2(g)]
= (2x51.3 KJ) - [(2x86.57)+0]
= -70.54 kJ
= -70540 J
Calculation of equilibrium constant :
WE have
Where
R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol-K
T = temperature in kelvin = 25 oC = 25 + 273 = 298 K
Plug the values we get
log K = 12.36
K = 10 12.36
= 2.3 x10 12
Therefore the equilibrium constant K = 2.3 x10 12
